Southside Elementary School Naming Process

Background:

This web page has been created to keep the community informed of our work as we progress through the naming process of the new southside elementary school currently under construction in the Rimrock area. This site currently houses the Badger Rock Neighborhood Center and Badger Rock Middle School located at 501 E. Badger Road.

The new elementary school will be attached to the current building and will serve between 400 and 450 students. This site is in the center of the community, providing one of the best walking school options available and is located next to a current City of Madison park. The new school as designed at this time will have the same attendance area that exists today for Allis Elementary School. We cannot wait to welcome Rimrock area students to their new neighborhood school!

We anticipate that the new school will open in the fall of 2023 but could be affected by construction timelines. There will be active communication with the school community throughout the process to keep families informed. Updates on the construction process can be accessed on the MMSD website.
 

Naming Process:

The first step is to seek official proposals from the community that meet the criteria found in Board Policy 6700, titled “Proposal for Naming a MMSD Building or Facility.” The window for submitting proposals closed at 8 a.m. on March 9, 2023.

We will be using typical communication channels to keep our district informed of updates -- including our newsletters, website, Facebook and Twitter, etc. Targeted communications will be sent to the Allis Elementary school community.
